Fn keys hi, I am having problems with my keys. My baby was pressing some keys and now some of them dont work properly. The keys on the right hand side have numbers on them. If i type the letter it will type the number that is on the key unless I press the Fn key. What can I do to reset it?

combine these keys to deactivate num lock
FN+Num Lock
Fn should be close to CTRL button and Num lock might be on the top right side..
easy

Press the Start key + R.

type osk in that box and hit enter

On this keyboard, try toggling numlock scrolllock and capslock a few times.

Also, try this too: Fn+Numlk or depending of the model, press the button or Fn + Shift +Numlk hope this helps Try this. Press the Start key + R. type osk in that box and hit enter On this keyboard, try toggling numlock scrolllock and capslock a few times

Find a key called number lock on right hand side on top row. press once and see if numeric key board works! When you press this key there should a small indicator goes on or off! good luck!

Hi
Please have a look over on the bottom right hand side of the keyboard and there may be
a up and down key for the volume so press the FN key plus the up volume key FN+volume key

or just maybe the F8 key may of been accidently pressed

hi

You could try press the F11 key which is normally the number lock key top left hand side of the keyboard

or if that dont work try the Fn blue key bottom left of keyboard at same time as the F11 key

so either F11

or

Fn+F11

i hope this works for you

do you have a manual for your laptop because hopefully that will explain things about your laptop

if not you could download one from the laptop manufacturer and you will need to save the manual to your desktop and install adobe reader to be able to read it Free Download

type into your search the name of your laptop plus manual or support

if your laptop was a acer www.acer.com if a hp www.hp.com if a compaq www.compaq.com etc etc then go to support/downloads type in your make model and operating system and look for the manual


good luck

Please try to deactivate the Fn (function) key. That will help you get rid of your problem. Press Fn key + Numlock key once and try again. You can also try pressing the Fn key once and type letters in any word processor program with the key combination everytime you press the Fn key once. E.g. open the notepad, press Fn once and after that press ) with Shift.

If you have problem, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

This is yoru number lock function

look along the "F" key row for the NumLk or picture of the number 1 in a square. then hold down the Fn key on the lower left of the board. press the "F" key that corresponds to it and this will disable it.

You can always check your keyboard settings using the On screen keyboard function.
Start menu-All programs-Accessories-Accessibility

That means that you turned on the numlock on the laptop keyboard, On an acer if im not mistaken you have to press one of the function keys to deactivate it. Look for the icon with NUM on it and press it. if that does not work you may have to press FN then that icon.

had the same prob on my laptop which doesn't have a seperate number pad so all I needed to do was to press "Num lock".
